INSTALLATION OPTIONS

INSTALLATION ABOVE A BUILT-IN OVEN OR WARMING DRAWER

Thermador Induction Cooktops may be installed above a Thermador Single Built-in Oven. A minimum 1" air gap must be maintained between the bottom of the cooktop and the top of the oven.

Thermador Cooktops may also be installed above a Thermador Warming Drawer to create a convenient cooking center. Refer to the warming drawer section for additional specifi cations.

IMPORTANT

We strongly recommend the installation of a Thermador Ventilation System with this induction cooktop.

Seal the surfaces of the cutout to make them heat resistant. This prevents the surfaces from expanding as a result of humidity.

Solid surface countertops often require special installation. For example, heat refl ective tape or rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the countertop manufacturer for instructions specifi c to your countertop.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ignition of nearby combustible materials, install the countertop with a minimum distance of 2" (51 mm) from both side walls and the back wall.

HEAT SHIELD

The heat shield will require an additional 1" clearance below the cooktop. For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly installed. This prevents components from overheating as a result of the recirculation of hot air from the cooktop. The heat shield is the same width as the cooktop. For shipping, it is screwed to the burner box. Once installed, the heat shield will be able to rotate freely, as shown in the illustration. Refer to the instructions packed with product for installation details.

CIT36XKB specifications

The Thermador CIT36XKB is a premier induction cooktop designed to elevate the culinary experience in modern kitchens. With its sleek black glass surface and sophisticated design, it not only serves as a functional cooking appliance but also as an elegant centerpiece. This 36-inch induction cooktop effortlessly combines style, efficiency, and advanced technology, making it a top choice for both professional and home chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the Thermador CIT36XKB is its powerful induction cooking technology. Induction cooking utilizes electromagnetic energy to directly heat pots and pans, which allows for rapid heating and precise temperature control. This results in quicker cooking times and increased energy efficiency compared to traditional gas and electric cooktops. With a total power output of 11,500 watts across its five cooking zones, this cooktop can accommodate a variety of cooking needs, from simmering sauces to boiling water in record time.

The CIT36XKB also boasts a unique feature known as the "SpeedBoost" function. This technology is designed to provide an extra burst of power to quickly heat cookware, making it ideal for high-heat cooking techniques such as searing and stir-frying. Furthermore, the cooktop includes a "Pan Recognition" feature that ensures only designated cooking zones are activated when compatible cookware is placed, enhancing safety and efficiency.

For convenience, the cooktop features a user-friendly control panel with precise touch controls. The intuitive interface makes it easy to adjust temperatures, set timers, and switch between cooking zones. Additionally, the CIT36XKB includes a "Timer" function that allows home chefs to manage multiple dishes simultaneously without the risk of overcooking.

Safety is also a paramount consideration in the design of the Thermador CIT36XKB. The cooktop features an automatic shut-off function, which turns off the cooking zones after a set period of inactivity. This not only enhances safety but also provides peace of mind in busy kitchens.

In conclusion, the Thermador CIT36XKB induction cooktop is a remarkable combination of cutting-edge technology, safety features, and user-focused design. With its powerful induction cooking capability, speed-enhancing features, and elegant aesthetic, it represents a significant investment for those seeking to enhance their culinary skills while enjoying the benefits of modern cooking technology.
